How to keep the local file or the remote file during merge using Git and the command line?

I know how to merge modification using vimdiff, but, assuming I just know that the entire file is good to keep or to throw away, how do I do that?

I don't want to open vimdiff for each of them, I change want a command that says 'keep local' or 'keep remote'.

E.G: I got a merge with files marked as changed because somebody opened it under windows, changing the EOL, and then commited. When merging, I want to just keep my own version and discard his.

I'm also interested in the contrary: I screwed up big time and want to accept the remote file, discarding my changes.

local merge git

I asked the questions a day ago, very similar this quesiton but my questions is slightly different because it is something to do with a database, sqlite3.

but a manager on this site asked me to delete the quesition so I did delete it but he finally blocked me.

Anyway, the answer to my matter was "git checkout --their db.sqlite3"

Something related with databse, then just simply "git checkout --their db.sqlite3" not need to put path.

I leave this answer for someone who got same problem as me.
